A social construct is a concept, idea, or practice that exists because society as a whole agrees that it exists. Its meaning is shaped by cultural and historical context rather than being based on objective reality. In other words, it's something that humans have collectively created and continue to uphold through social agreement and interaction.
Here's a breakdown of the key aspects:
* Created by Society: Social constructs don't exist independently in nature. They are products of human interaction, culture, and historical processes.
* Agreement is Key: Their existence and meaning are maintained because people within a society collectively agree upon them. If that agreement changes, the social construct can also change or even disappear.
* Not Objective Reali
